GUEST,Ken Brock | Origins: Buddy Can you Spare a Dime - who was Al? (64* d) | RE: Origins: Who was Al in Buddy Can you Spare a Dime | 06 Jun 09 |
I have always assumed that Paul Simon's "Al" is a reference/ tribute to the one in "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" as much as the line "His name was Speedo but his Christian name was Mr. Earl" (in "Was A Sunny Day") is a tribute to the DooWop of groups like the Cadillacs. |
